Our Review of Xilisoft DVD to iPad Converter for Mac

Comprehensive is a good way to describe the Xilisoft DVD to iPad Converter for Mac. It’s got more format settings for your DVD rips than you’ll ever need for the iPad or iPad mini.

The conversion quality and speed are impressive and at par with the best Mac programs listed on iPadinTouch

Getting started with the software is easy and the instructions are displayed at the launch of the application. Three steps are all there is to convert the DVD file into the desired iPad video format or ripping the audio. The first step is completing the fields in the Profile section at the bottom of the main application window (the video format). Of course, the user can also choose the desired audio format to accompany the video file (at the top of the window).

In the right upper side of the application window you can see the details about the currently processing video file (video codec used, the standard, video size, bitrate, buffer size, framerate, audio codec).

So handling the application is not too difficult after deciding on the video format and locating it in the Profile options. To start the ripping, the little red button is used and for a better view on the chapters (or if you want to select only some of them) you can press the Show Chapters button (to the left of Rip button).

Some other settings you can make are the zoom (keep aspect ratio is the most recommended one) and the split (define the file size of the split, only if you want to split the movie). The application offers options to decide what to do after the ripping is finished: hibernate, shut down the system, exit program, no action, etc. so user can leave the application working and come back later to get the extraction completed.

The output quality is very high (video and audio), and the application brings the possibility of defining the segments to be extracted, video scenes, chapters, video effects, edit subtitles, and even adding watermarks to them. Those segments can be merged later is the user decides to.

Extraction (ripping) is performed at high speed, it supports batch and multithread process, by automatically detecting the user CPU features to get the maximum performance. The conversion quality and speed are impressive and at par with the best programs listed on iPadinTouch.
